NHS vaccinations and when to have them
View a guide on vaccinations available on the NHS, and when to have them. This guide covers both children and adults.
Hepatitis B
In the UK, the hepatitis B vaccine is given to babies as part of the 6-in-1 vaccine.
Adults only need to get the vaccine if they're at high risk, for example:
- you are travelling to a high-risk country – you may have to pay for a hepatitis B vaccine for travel
- you have liver or kidney disease
- you have HIV
- your job puts you at risk of infection – for example, you're a healthcare worker or work in a prison. Your employer should organise the vaccination for you if your job puts you at risk.
